Surprised I haven't seen this yet, so I'll leave my experience.
Daily (ab)user for ~4 years. No (observed) adverse mental, social effects.
Yesterday was 1 month clean, and I quit for mainly 1 reason: my mucus buildup was becoming near unbearable. I'd wake up every single morning and pretty much vomit straight mucus first thing after getting out of bed. When I would smoke, it would clear the mucus right out (by blowing my nose, etc), but it's almost like mucus drained down my throat while I was sleeping and would fill my stomach to the point of becoming sick in the morning.
Within 2 weeks of quitting the mucus issue was completely gone and my body back to normal - no more morning vomiting.
I have had other friends mention intensified mucus building from smoking cannabis, but it is not discussed often. Wondering if others have experienced something similar.
Anyways I much prefer cannabis to alcohol for evening relaxation, so my goal is to quit a bit longer and then form a more healthy, casual relationship with weed as I have with drinking.

- throwaway413 8y agoDefinitely, I figure the mucus issue had less to do with cannabis itself and more to do with smoking/inhaling/etc and the throat lining itself in a defensive response to the heat. My personal issue w/ edibles is that I was unable to control dosage, timing, level of my high as well as w/ smoking in my experience. To get to a level of satisfactory stoned, I would have to ingest 75-100mg of THC at one time, but then that is lasting several hours, coming in waves, etc.
